Using a PC as a media server...

[NeilF]

So I'm using my little shuttle (XP sp2) to store my media on, which my media player then drags its data/files from to play.

Are there any settings that would be advantageous? ie: To tell it to cache/read-ahead more data?

I suspect not... But if you don't ask...

This is the only thing I can think of:

Jumbo frames (if you have a gigabit network) - http://www.smallnetbuilder.com/content/view/30201/54/

No, just regular ethernet...
